<h1 class="title">Recent Changes for wxPython</h1>
<div class="section">
-<h1><a id="id1" name="id1">2.7.1.1</a></h1>
+<h1><a id="id1" name="id1">2.8.0.1</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>11-Dec-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Lots of fixes and updates to the AUI classes.</p>
+<p>Added wx.CollapsiblePane. On wxGTK it uses a native expander widget,
+on the other platforms a regular button is used to control the
+collapsed/expanded state.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.combo module, which contains the ComboCtrl and ComboPopup
+classes. These classes allow you to implement a wx.ComboBox-like
+widget where the popup can be nearly any kind of widget, and where you
+have a lot of control over other aspects of the combo widget as well.
+It works very well on GTK and MSW, using native renderers for drawing
+the combo button, but is unfortunatly still a bit klunky on OSX...</p>
+<p>Use system default paper size for printing instead of A4 by default.</p>
+<p>Added wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox, which is a ComboCtrl that delegates
+the drawing of the items in the popup and in the control itself to
+overridden methods of a derived class, similarly to how wx.VListBox
+works.</p>
+<p>Added wx.combo.BitmapComboBox which is a combobox that displays a
+bitmap in front of the list items.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.mixins.inspect module. It contains the InspectMixin
+class which can be mixed with a wx.App class and provides a PyCrust
+window that can be activated with a Ctrl-Alt-I keystroke (or Cmd-Alt-I
+on the Mac.)</p>
+<p>Added some modules from Riaan Booysen:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>wx.lib.flagart: contains icons of the flags of many countries.</li>
+<li>wx.lib.art.img2pyartprov: makes images embedded in a python file
+with img2py available via the wx.ArtProvider.</li>
+<li>wx.lib.langlistctrl: A wx.ListCtrl for selecting a language,
+which uses the country flag icons.</li>
+<li>An I18N sample for the demo.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.lib.masked: Patch from Will Sadkin. Includes Unicode fixes, plus
+more helpful exceptions and ability to designate fields in mask
+without intervening fixed characters.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SearchCtrl, which is a composite of a wx.TextCtrl with optional
+bitmap buttons and a drop-down menu. Controls like this can typically
+be found on a toolbar of applications that support some form of search
+functionality. On the Mac this control is implemented using the
+native HISearchField control, on the other platforms a generic control
+is used, although that may change in the future as more platforms
+introduce native search widgets.</p>
+<p>Added a set of button classes to wx.lib.buttons from David Hughes that
+uses the native renderer to draw the button.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<h1><a id="id2" name="id2">2.7.2.0</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>7-Nov-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Patch [ 1583183 ] Fixes printing/print preview inconsistencies</p>
+<p>Add events API to wxHtmlWindow (patch #1504493 by Francesco Montorsi)</p>
+<p>Added wxTB_RIGHT style for right-aligned toolbars (Igor Korot)</p>
+<p>Added New Zealand NZST and NZDT timezone support to wx.DateTime.</p>
+<p>wx.Window.GetAdjustedBestSize is deprecated. In every conceivable
+scenario GetEffectiveMinSize is probably what you want to use instead.</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Gained support for TGA image file format.</p>
+<p>wx.aui: The classes in the wx.aui module have been renamed to be more
+consistent with each other, and make it easier to recognize in the
+docs and etc. that they belong together.</p>
+<blockquote>
+FrameManager --> AuiManager
+FrameManagerEvent --> AuiManagerEvent
+PaneInfo --> AuiPaneInfo
+FloatingPane --> AuiFloatingPane
+DockArt --> AuiDockArt
+TabArt --> AuiTabArt
+AuiMultiNotebook --> AuiNotebook
+AuiNotebookEvent --> AuiNotebookEvent</blockquote>
+<p>wx.lib.customtreectrl: A patch from Frank Niessink which adds an
+additional style (TR_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT) that (un)checks a parent when
+all children are (un)checked.</p>
+<p>wx.animate.AnimationCtrl fixed to display inactive bitmap at start
+(patch 1590192)</p>
+<p>Patch from Dj Gilcrease adding the FNB_HIDE_ON_SINGLE_TAB style flag
+for wx.lib.flatnotebook.</p>
+<p>wx.Window.GetBestFittingSize has been renamed to GetEffectiveMinSize.
+SetBestFittingSize has been renamed to SetInitialSize, since it is
+most often used only to set the initial (and minimal) size of a
+widget.</p>
+<p>The QuickTime backend for wx.media.MediaCtrl on MS Windows works
+again. Just pass szBackend=wx.media.MEDIABACKEND_QUICKTIME to the
+constructor to use it instead of the default ActiveMovie backend,
+(assuming the quicktime DLLs are available on the system.)</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<h1><a id="id3" name="id3">2.7.1.3</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>26-Oct-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>wxGTK: The wx.ALWAYS_SHOW_SB style is now supported.</p>
+<p>Fixed name errors in the old wxPython package namespace. As a
+reminder, use of this package is deprecated and you are encouraged to
+switch your programs over to the wx package.</p>
+<p>Fixed wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas.SetCurrent to be compatible with prevoius
+versons.</p>
+<p>Added wx.StandardPaths.GetTmpDir.</p>
+<p>Bug fixes in the wx.ListCtrl on Mac from Kevin Olivier, allowing it to
+send events properly again. There is also a new native implementation
+of wx.ListCtrl available, which will be used for wx.LC_REPORT style
+list controls if you set the "mac.listctrl.always_use_generic"
+SystemOption to zero. In a future release this will be the default.</p>
+<p>Added a sample to the demo that shows some of what can be done with
+the new wx.GraphicsContext and wx.GraphicsPath classes.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<h1><a id="id4" name="id4">2.7.1.2</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>21-Oct-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Fixed a bug in the MaskedEdit controls caused by conflicting IsEmpty
+methods.</p>
+<p>Patch #1579280: Some mimetype optimizations on unix-like systems.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Several wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl enhancements/fixes, including:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>new methods for increasing/decreasing text size, getting
+selection, getting/setting scroll position, printing, enabling
+editing, and running JavaScripts on the page.</li>
+<li>added new event (wx.webkit.WebKitBeforeLoadEvent) for catching, and
+possibly vetoing, load events before they occur.</li>
+<li>wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl now fires mouse events for certain events
+that it was eating before. This improves wxSplitterWindow
+resizing behavior.</li>
+<li>refactoring of the sizing logic to move the Cocoa view. Tested
+with splitter windows, panels, notebooks and all position
+correctly with this.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Some improvements to the drawing code in CustomTreeCtrl.</p>
+<p>Fixed refcount leak in wx.Window.GetChildren.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<h1><a id="id5" name="id5">2.7.1.1</a></h1>
<ul class="simple">
<li>18-Oct-2006</li>
</ul>
<p>Changed how the stock objects (wx.RED, wx.RED_PEN, wx.RED_BRUSH, etc.)
are initialized. They are now created as uninitialized instances
using __new__. Then after the wx.App has been created, but before
-OnInit is called, the .this attribute of each obhect is initialized.
+OnInit is called, the .this attribute of each object is initialized.
This was needed because of some delayed initialization functionality
that was implemented in wxWidgets, but the end result is cleaner for
wxPython as well, and allowed me to remove some ugly code previously
project. This has resulted in some minor API changes, most of which
were worked around in the wrapper code.</p>
<p>Added wx.lib.delayedresult from Oliver Schoenborn.</p>
-<p>Added wx.lib.expando, a multi-line textctrl that exands as more lines
+<p>Added wx.lib.expando, a multi-line textctrl that expands as more lines
are needed.</p>
<p>wx.Image.Scale and Rescale methods now take an extra parameter
specifying type of method to use for resampling the image. It
<p>Renamed wx.FutureCall to wx.CallLater so it is named more like
wx.CallAfter. wx.FutureCall is now an empty subclass of wx.CallLater
for compatibility of older code.</p>
-<p>Added the wx.lib.customtreectrl the from Andrea Gavana.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.customtreectrl module from Andrea Gavana.</p>
<p>Added ChangeSelection to wx.BookCtrl (the base class for wx.Notebook
and other book controls) that is the same as SetSelection but doesn't
send the change events.</p>
provide a way to show a standard About box for the application, which
will either be a native dialog or a generic one depending on what info
is provided and if it can all be shown with the native dialog.</p>
-<p>The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the code wxWidgets
+<p>The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the core wxWidgets
library, and refactored a bit along the way. For wxPython it still
exists in the wx.animate module, but has basically been reduced to two
classes, wx.animate.Animation, and wx.animate.AnimationCtrl. You load
wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered method.</p>
